The most commonly used deployment model for OpenVPN is a single server with multiple remote clients capable of routing IP traffic. We refer to this deployment model as the client/server mode with tun devices.
In this chapter, we start off with a basic client/server setup.

- Adding extra security with production-level configuration files
- Routing and server-side routing
- Client-specific configuration using CCD files
- Client-side routing
- Redirecting the default gateway
